So very simple and tasty – ideal for Autumn evenings with hot fresh bread rolls!
Simple Parsnip Soup Slow Cooker Recipe – Serves 4
Satisfying enough as a main meal. The lentils give this soup a thick and creamy texture without the fat content!
You will need:
4 x Medium Parsnips (approx 450g before peeling – but don’t bother weighing just go for it!)
1 x Onion
1 x Large Cooking Apple (or 2 x eating apples if more convenient)
1 x Vegetable Stock Cube
1/4 Pint of Red Lentils (use a measuring jug for ease instead of weighing on scales – no need!)
2 x Pints of Hot Water
1 x Teaspoon on Tumeric (optional – only if already in your spice collection)
1 x Teaspoon of Blackpepper (optional)
Instructions:
1. Peel and dice the 4 Parsnips and place in Slow Cooker (Temp High)
2. Peel, core and dice Apple – add to Slow Cooker
3. Peel, and chop Onion – add to Slow Cooker
4. Measure out 1/4 Pint of Red Lentils into a measuring jug, then rinse thoroughly using a sieve – drain and add to Slow Cooker
5. Crumble a Vegetable Stock Cube over ingredients, add the Tumeric and Blackpepper (if you do not have these don’t worry – go without)
6. Pour over 2 Pints of Hot Water and put lid on Slow Cooker.
7. Turn Heat Setting to Low and leave for 8 hours (or longer if you are out for the day – up to approx. 10 hours)
8. When ready to serve – blend using a hand blender in pot (or transfer to a blender) – be careful in both instances as it will be hot.
Serve immediately with hot fresh rolls, store in the fridge for up to 48 hours or freeze for up to 1-month
Spread the word and let’s start a Slow Cooker revolution!
Please let me know how it goes in the comments below
This sounds good AND frugal! I’m going to get all the ingredients on my next shopping day.
PS. I just found your site today from your post on unclutterer.com – you’re going to be in my blog roll now! 🙂
Thanks Thea for the comment it’s great to get feedback – please let me know how it goes? It certainly is a Frugal dish – a lot of slow cooker/crock pot recipes are. I intend on costing all the recipes going forward and including that info, I’ll also be doing American measurements for those over in the US. As Halloween is upon us there’ll be a pumpkin soup recipe going on tomorrow and hopefully a couple more ‘in season’ by the weekend – so do check it out! Thanks again for the comment and please do spread the word – as I mentioned in the Unclutterer Forum, Slow Cooking is one of the best kept secrets – I just wish someone had let me in on it before I hit mid-thirties 🙂
Have Fun Cooking!
